    "Please forgive me if your favorite trainwreck isn't on the Top Ten." The Robo Voice doesn't really convey sarcasm (or any other tonal clue about meaning), but it seems merrily subversive of you to discuss these bombs in the same giddy way (chat about your favorites!) as we do about favorite kisses, favorite actors, or favorite series.

    I started to watch Thai BL dramas only for curiosity of this phenomenon. What I've learned, that every studio/agency product has two major problems: poor script writing and negligence. I understand that budget plays main role in creating "POS" dramas. But it's not the excuse. Even with little money the final product could be much better. Thank you for your review.

      @@blcriticCinema at the dawn of a foggy youth had a French name *illusion*. The phenomenon of Thai BL drama, in my opinion, lies in the creation of an absolutely truthful illusion, which we all willingly believe in and passionately want to translate into reality. From this and popularity and everything else connected with it. I am getting a strange feeling when I watch another drama. Realizing that this is pure commerce and business, what I see on the screen makes me believe that love exists and I want it to continue. That's why the poor girls at fan meetings squeal and scream. An illusion, perish it, (Пропади она пропадом)as the Russians say.

    Happily, advance warning from Word on the Street spared me from ever committing to 9 of these entries. Therefore, I can quibble not at all about the rank order nor the list. The one series I did view in its complete, Awful Fullness occupies #1 on this list and on my list. So, nothing but the Worst for me. As I already excoriated that series months ago in another Comments section*, I will use this space to flog the second-worst series I sat all the way through in 2022: Coffee Melody.
    For that tepid brew to have escaped this list surely indicates these others are truly awful. Coffee Melody was to originality, good acting, and solid plotting what a room temperature pot of two-day old coffee brewed from powder with a dirty filter is to tasty beverages. Not. Even. Close.

    Referring to earlier comments, I can't ever feel that a bad BL series is "so bad it's good". Would that I could. Back in the days of the video rental stores like Blockbuster, etc., there would usually be something like a "Midnight Movie" section. The purpose was to provide you with a movie that was considered to be really bad but you might think it was good entertainment. I question what the hell is going on when some of these series are created, acted and recorded right in front of the eyes of the producers, etc., and do they really think they are creating magic?

      Forgive yourself for enduring every episode of an execrable show. That demonstrates you live your life on hope and faith. "It will get better," you stubbornly tell yourself as you dial up episode 11 of 12, even though no scintilla of evidence amassed heretofore, nary a jot nor an iota, suggests any likelihood of recovery. Not even to the low bar of "halfway decent." But better to hope in vain than always to abandon hope by ditching every misfiring series early. I admire your perseverance. Go easy on yourself for this pecadillo.
      Still. Unforgotten Night? Better discretion, some perceptive selective judgment about where to place that hope and faith, seems indicated.

      OK, so the answer to the second question is a resounding, "Yes, it can get worse. Should have listened to Civivva and quit after Ep. 3." But overall, you are absolutely right: if more of us dumped a bad series early, maybe producers would get a clue. I actually dropped Gen Y 2 after only one episode, and Unforgotten Night after two. But That's My Candy 🍬 I stuck with to the bitter end. ("Bitter" is not a description any type of candy should aspire to!) TMC was so awful I couldn't stop watching it.

    Alternate titles for this video: Roll Call of Infamy 2022 or Hall of Shame 2022 or Shitshows of 2022: Trainwrecks Division. Vulgarity aside, I like the latter because it's a pun. "Shitshow" is an actual English (compound) word but these series are shit shows. So that the title "Shitshows of 2022" and the title "Shit Shows of 2022" actually convey different meanings. In choosing one or the other, nuance is required. 😎 but without, of course, sacrificing the sense of the other meaning.

    • @johnmaster3748
      @johnmaster3748 2 года назад +2

      Need help parsing the nuances of American profanities? For our friends who are not native English speakers, here is a primer. A relatively recent addition to the lexicon arising from the vernacular, "shitshow" may be unfamiliar to some native English speakers, too, if they happen to live somewhere where this charming neologism has yet to enter local usage. To describe a thing as a "shitshow" conveys the idea that the thing failed to go according to plan, was badly organized, or degenerated into chaos. It is much closer to the metaphor of the trainwreck as Mr Critic means it here. The term may thus be applied to any organized endeavor and not just TV shows. By contrast, to describe a TV series as a "shit show" is just a vulgar way of saying a particular show was very very bad.
      In other words, inclusion on this list indicates a series is likely both a shit show (bad TV) and also a shitshow (poorly made). Hence, the pun.

Are actors asked not to get tatted up or told if they have or get tattoos they will be covered with makeup? Is there a discrimination, do you think, if an actor shows up inked to an audition? I have often thought of this and wondered. I know you are really busy but I'd appreciate your thoughts at some point.

      Tattoos are still frowned upon. Having said that minor tattoos like Meen's lucifer sign or Jeff's is still okay.. but in Thailand they do big tribal tattoos and they are not considered good for showbiz. There's one on the lead actor from What Zabb man.. and it is very difficult to conceal... it requires a lot of concealer ( and make up time) unless the scene demands him having such. Though most normal lakorn audition do not require actors to go topless like BL auditions, still those Lakorn actors also need to be gym fit with toned body nowadays. Hence, actors are advised to be lean, and just put temp ones like Perth in My Engineer or Boun in UWMA or Between US

    It was a shame because a lot of the series started off with good plots then went downhill fast. Unforgettable, it was the mis cast. Watching them kiss was painful. Kim character was a big no! Check out had more chemistry but the script was horrible! One series was too toxic they should’ve been together at the end. What saved the year were the good series and I’ll admit there were winners.

    Speaking of train wrecks, War of Y, I was ready to give up on that series but have to say the last story is not bad. First and Toru were the couple that shined in Y Destiny the previous series and have to give them credit they shine here as well. The story of the previous/on the side/secret girlfriend of one member of a popular ship is not new to bl, kinda like how they have been handeling the story, like the girl. But kinda feel they will screw it up in the last epidode. Having New playing New the director is kinda strangely interesting. Glad they will put that series to bed next week.

Boun Prem had more chemistry in UWMA.This one is slow paced boring and i prefer other characters like A, Bee & Sea ,the brother Waan & his game player friend.Dean,Pharm,Manow are so unnecessary to the show that its visible.The worst aspect is this show was about Boun Prem storyline and unfortunately there is no story on the development of their relationship.Its slow paced and Boun has this permanent indifferent face from last 4 eps and I don’t find Prem and his love affair with Lays interesting. After waiting for this show i find it so lacklustre.Or is it just me ?

Do not like the Boun Prem couple never understood why people liked them and really do not like the Ohum Fluke couple, I think each actor individually is good. I like both Ohum and Fluke as actors and feel bad to see them stuck in this never ending loop. I feel strongly that actors stuck in ships do not grow artisticly, they end up playing the same characters over and over again no matter what role it is. Maybe it is great for fan meets and cranking out promos but not for artistic growth. Just MY opinion, for those who love those ships to each his own as they say, enjoy.

      It's true. Mr Critic shines brightest when something has peeved him, and he fires his double-barreled snark rifle. Meanwhile, for the benefit of anyone sympathizing with Mr Hilton about his "gloomy" weather day, allow me to observe he resides in San Diego, where local custom regards "partly cloudy" as the most dire of weather calamities, and sweet, innocent, inoffensive June is the month of the year they gripe most bitterly about foul weather. That said, it's also gray skies here 70 miles to the north, so the illusion of gloomy is understandable. But not, I think, so gloomy as the seme in a Japanese BL. Any seme. In any Japanese BL.
